“to most practitioners of foreign and national-security policy, “We’re America, Bitch” would be understood as self-isolating, and self-sabotaging”

Hmm, most of those practitioners have been causing America to lose for decades, and Trump is causing America to win.

Tired of defending our weak Allies.

What it is, is being tired of our allies diverting what they would have spent on defense into their socialistic pipedreams, and then lording it over us for not following suit, as if they are so "enlightened" without caring that we paid for them to live defense-free while we spent that "peace dividend" on a global military presence on their behalf.

Trump is telling our allies that it's time for them to beware the enemies at their gate, because we're focusing on the ones at our gate now.

“Liberals want to be liked. Conservatives want to be respected.”

With the “Liberal” approach, we are neither liked nor respected. With the conservative, we are respected, and, ultimately, liked.

Tired of effete metro-residents telling us what we REALLY mean when we define something.

“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”

It's a bit more genteel than

"BFYTW!"

If the US wins gold on the last day and some small country’s anthem has not been played yet, Jeff thinks we should play theirs just so everyone gets a chance.

to most practitioners of foreign and national-security policy, “We’re America, Bitch” would be understood as self-isolating, and self-sabotaging.

It is simply amazing how deeply globalism has become embedded in the minds of the world. I encounter liberals often who are terrified that Trump will isolate us.

These people have probably never even entertained survival without the government teat.

Americans are, or were at least, incredibly selfless and generous to the rest of the world. Additionally we understood sacrifices and making due with what you have.

One gets the feeling these crybabies would fall apart without their latte from Starbucks or netflix.

Donald Trump is pursuing policies that undermine the Western alliance, empower Russia and China, and demoralize freedom-seeking people around the world. The United States could be made weaker—perhaps permanently—by the implementation of the Trump Doctrine.

And here again, blatant fear wrapped in a strong appeasement flavored package.

As another freeper commented too, it is amusing that the author considers countries of the 'western alliance' to be superior or even helpful. One thinks he has not recently read about rapes, no-go zones, and knife/acid attacks on the streets of London, for instance. In fact Russia has kept herself in better shape than London or France, or even Canada.

At any rate I hope to make use of "We're America, Bitches" often. And let's send a banner of it to Trudie the dancing dressup queen.

Oh come on, it was a delightful read.

I’m still not over celebrating the November 2016 win, and this was just more pain from the Left.

I could see and hear his delusions from start to finish, and it was wonderful.

“It was written in that same pseudo-intellectual tone.”

You’re absolutely right. It sounded like sanctimonious Jonah.

I’m sure nobody spoke the phrase, “We’re America, Bitch”, but he’s entitled to make up stuff just like the rest of the leftist media. And I like the phrase, because it’s sooo Trump-ish.
